Sun playing peek a boo here in golden triangle...hot and muggy. I’ve told the kids to have their shoes at the back door and be ready to head to the storm shelter at a moments notice.
Major hail storm over walnut Grove right now with up to 3.5 inch hail possibly. Watching the two storms that are severe thunderstorms including this one. Nothing popping off yet.
The storm passed south of Tuscaloosa and is cycling.. Looks very nasty on radar with big hook.. Might hold together all the way up to hoover
So is jackson area in the clear at this point?
Warning sirens sounding now!
Tornado warning.. Possible tornado near Prentiss
And so it begins. Looks like my farm is in the crosshairs again.
Tornado Warning for parts of Simpson, Smith, Covington, and Jefferson Davis Counties
I wish I could read these radars like some of you guys. I'm looking at RadarScope but I can't make them out like some folks. I'm still trying to learn.
Tor warning Smith Jasper County HWY 84 guys.
Key ones with severe storms though.
Reflectivity.. Normal radar. Sometimes you need to shuffle to different tilts to get away from noise of the radar.
Velocity - shows wind speeds. Red is positive.. Winds coming to the radar. Green is negative and heading away from radar. I might be flipping those.
Quite often I flip between close radar sites to get the best view of the storms because can be a lot of noise especially with hail.
Correlation coefficient. This is the one I don't like looking at. You are looking for a change in color such as blue blocks near the storm. If there is stuff being thrown in the air, this is where you see it.. And can confirm a tornado on the ground.
Vertically integrated liquid... Shows hail and hail size.
Can break down lots more latter
Tornado warning for near Paulette. Heading into Bama..
Heading towards aliceville (tusk???) and Carrollton
TUSK land in the bullseye. Y'all stay on alert on the 45 corridor
